These Recaro baby seat is indeed test winner at Stiftung Warentest, however, this test refers to the child seat and base station. This is in addition to purchase (cost point again specially about 100). The station is not mandatory, but essential for a faster and more convenient handling in the car, because the anchoring of the seat is a little more complicated with straps.
The light weight of the baby seat is highly praised. Now we have no comparison with other models, yet we the baby seat was the first lifting still not very light, which could be due to the slightly uncomfortable stretcher way of the car seat. Padding of the handle would improve a lot here.
The instructions are understandable information about the adjustment possibilities of the infant carrier in which the pictures are helpful. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with all functions before the baby is there, because a bit of searching you have one or the other eye maybe.
Color, material and processing
We have the baby seat in the Shadow Color. The gray will look slightly darker than in the picture, but that did not bother us. The material makes a very good impression, is also well made and odorless. The baby can be soft and comfortable in the child seat.
Weighing function
Outside the car, the baby car seat can be used as a cradle. Does not Want You to weighing function, it can be stabilized by the handle. The handling of this is easy.
Sunroof
The sunroof is a nice addition, but not necessarily helpful. It is not very far above the child, so it is not always functional. In addition, the sunroof dissolves easily back out of the anchor when you open up it.
Compatibility with strollers
Important to know is still that the baby car seat can be set to strollers. Which stroller eligible, may be placed on the Recaro Homepage in experience. This additional feature is a real plus point.
Altogether us the Recaro Privia Shadow carrycot like quite well, because it is convenient especially for the baby. For those carrying the child seat and anchored in the car, the baby car seat could be quite comfortable.
